The Illinois campus has committed to promoting and achieving sustainability via hundreds of campus projects tracked online in the iCAP Portal. These projects, many based on unique facilities and programs on campus, have great potential to develop into research and education efforts targeting external resources.

Many of these projects also could use research support to come to fruition. Recently, iSEE has mapped the relevance of more than 500 iCAP projects to a number of national research funding programs. Meanwhile, a number of research projects on campus have already shown promising connections to iCAP projects.

This workshop, led by iSEE Associate Director for Campus Sustainability Ximing Cai, will explore how to integrate campus sustainability with research and education so that the three elements can benefit each other.
